unless for some reason you're in an area where all the supplies are backordered, you should be able to get one, too.

You have two choices on the P4, you can get the Rambus version and the price will be high and the performance only mediocre, or you can get the DDR-SDRAM version and the price will be lower and the performance will be awful.

Or, you can assemble an XP system for less money than either of the above and go home happy

Seriously, the P4's price isn't justified by the resulting performance and an Athlon XP 1800+ (which in fact operates at 1.53GHz) will kick a P4 2.0's tail up and down the block in most applications...just check through all the various hardware review sites, same thing over and over.
